In dietary supplements, you're likely to see magnesium in many forms or "salts," such as magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate, magnesium malate, magnesium ascorbate (bound to vitamin C), and magnesium oxide. Magnesium oxide is the cheapest form and has a reputation for not being as well absorbed as the others. magnesium glycinate is considered very high quality.
In some cases, high doses of magnesium— especially magnesium citrate—can lead to a loosening of the stools. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Eventually, I stabilized the dosage at four 200-mg elemental magnesium (as magnesium glycinate) tablets a day. My depression is completely, totally, absolutely gone. I am active and can function mentally, emotionally, and physically at my best again. My vision and bowels also returned to normal."
For all the talk about protecting children in America, too many of our little ones are threatened by psychiatrists and psychologists who have betrayed the young. Millions of children are now taking psychotropic drugs, which are causing catastrophic problems that are going unreported. |
Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  I like magnesium glycinate, taurinate and oratate. I especially like magnesium orotate since this is one of the magnesium salts that tend to help support the direct production of ATP in the body. In fact, I am told by Australian cardiovascular surgeons that this form of magnesium builds the most ATP and they use is on a regular basis in their cardiothoracic surgery. I also especially like magnesium citrate because it is inexpensive and is easily absorbed in the body. |

Coenzyme Q10
This nutrient is made in every body cell; it also is depleted by sulfonylurea drugs and metformin. If you are taking these drugs or the statin drugs commonly prescribed to lower cholesterol (which also deplete CoQ10), read a detailed description in the section Coenzyme Q10: Don't Take Your Statin without It! on page 66, in Chapter 4. |
Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac.
See book keywords and concepts |  The forms best absorbed are magnesium glycinate, magnesium fumerate, and magnesium citrate, which also have less of a laxative effect.45 Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate), an old-fashioned remedy, is an excellent addition to a bath, but it has a strong laxative effect if taken as an oral supplement.
Typical therapeutic dose: 250 mg daily.
Precautions: Very high doses of magnesium may be dangerous for those with kidney disease.

See book keywords and concepts | | Magnesium glycinate is considered very high quality.
In some cases, high doses of magnesium— especially magnesium citrate—can lead to a loosening of the stools. Interestingly, some health practitioners capitalize on this little "side effect" and have found magnesium citrate to be the supplement of choice for people suffering from constipation and an excellent alternative to over-the-counter milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide). |
Mark Sircus
See book keywords and concepts | | I used Carlson's chelated magnesium glycinate (200 mg magnesium elemental) product. Within a few days to a short week, I felt remarkably better, my depression lifted noticeably, but I was getting a bit of diarrhea.
"Within a week to ten days of starting magnesium, I felt close to being well. I looked so well, that my psychiatrist thought I looked better than he had ever seen me. As I improved, I lowered my dosage of magnesium to find the best dosage for me. I lowered it too much and symptoms rapidly came back. |
Mark Hyman, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The most absorbable forms are magnesium glycinate, citrate, taurate, and aspartate. Magnesium malate, succinate, and fumarate are also good.
• Avoid magnesium carbonate, sulfate, gluconate, and oxide. They are less well absorbed (and the cheapest and most common forms found in supplements).
• The most common side effects of oral magnesium supplements are diarrhea, stomach cramps, and gas, which can be reduced if you switch to magnesium glycinate.
• Magnesium is best taken as a team with other minerals in a multimineral formula. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Fish oils may become rancid or may contain the same pollutants fish do unless they are scrupulously tested—minerals like magnesium and calcium come in a half dozen different chelates (magnesium oxide, magnesium glycinate, etc,), some cheap, some expensive. A supplement may officially contain carnitine, but it may be present in a meaningless amount. The vitamins 1 recommend are the ones that market to health professionals only, and they are many cuts above what is found in the average store, even a health food store. |

Zinc
Not only is zinc critical for proper immune function and wound healing, it is also involved in more biochemical bodily reactions than any other mineral. | | Cheaper but less absorbable forms of minerals are added, such as calcium carbonate instead of calcium citrate, calcium citrate-malate, or chelated calcium; or magnesium oxide instead of magnesium glycinate, or chelated magnesium.
Finally, some ingredients in some supplements may be downright dangerous. Recent analyses have shown that many calcium supplements contain excessive amounts of lead. Colloidal minerals obtained from the ocean floor may also contain unwanted amounts of mercury and heavy metals. Some herbal products may contain contaminants or potentially harmful ingredients. |

¦ To aid digestion, take a good-quality probiotic supplement daily, as recommended on the product label. If you are troubled by constipation, take acidophilus. If chronic indigestion is troublesome, take bifidus.
¦ The B vitamins are required for the healthy functioning of the hormonal and nervous systems. Take a good-quality B-complex supplement supplying 25 milligrams of each of the major B vitamins every day. |
Bill Gottlieb
See book keywords and concepts |  He recommends a magnesium/malic acid supplement called Fibro-Care, which includes the nutrients magnesium glycinate, vitamin B6, thiamin, vitamin C, and manganese, all of which are necessary for energy production. Magnesium is particularly crucial because people with CFS are typically deficient in the mineral, Dr. Teitelbaum says.
Dr. Teitelbaum's recommended dose is six tablets of Fibro-Care a day for a total of 450 milligrams of magnesium and 1,800 milligrams of malic acid. Because of the magnesium, some people may get diarrhea at this dose, Dr. Teitelbaum cautions. |
Leo Galland
See book keywords and concepts |  The best-absorbed dietary supplement is magnesium glycinate, which is available in tablets, but there are many forms of magnesium available in drugstores and health food stores, and they may all be helpful to some people. The dose needed varies from one hundred milligrams to about five hundred milligrams per day of elemental magnesium. Magnesium is never sold as magnesium alone; it comes combined with another type of molecule (chloride, carbonate, oxide, gluconate, etc.). Most of the weight of the compound is not due to magnesium but to the other substance. |
Gale Maleskey
See book keywords and concepts |  The preferred forms are magnesium orotate and magnesium glycinate.
Calcium sometimes also helps to reduce blood pressure, although it has less effect than potassium or magnesium. It seems to work best in women who develop high blood pressure during pregnancy and in children who are calcium-deficient, says Matthew Gillman, M.D., assistant professor of ambulatory care and prevention at Boston University Medical School. In one study, pregnant women who took 2,000 milligrams a day of calcium reduced the incidence of high blood pressure by 54 percent. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Cheney recommends a chelated form of magnesium called magnesium glycinate. "It's rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, so it doesn't cause digestive problems," he explains. "And it tends to be drawn into the cell, where it's needed."
And because taking more magnesium increases the body's need for calcium, Dr. Magaziner suggests taking calcium supplements as well. "I usually recommend taking them in a two-to-one ratio—1,000 milligrams of calcium if you're taking 500 milligrams of magnesium," he advises. |
Gale Maleskey
See book keywords and concepts | | Jacques advises taking magnesium glyci-nate instead of magnesium oxide or magnesium chloride. magnesium glycinate is a form that is readily absorbed, which means two things. First, it can go right to work and do what it is supposed to do—prevent constriction of the blood vessels in your brain and scalp. Second, since it is easily absorbed, it spends less time in the gut and is less likely to cause loose stools.

See book keywords and concepts |  Or if your calcium intake is sufficient from other sources, take only magnesium glycinate 200 to 400 mg daily. The proper ratio of calcium and magnesium is 2:1—that is, take twice as much calcium as magnesium.
• The amino acid (protein building block) glutamine appears to blunt the craving for alcohol in human research studies. Recommendation: Take 200 mg glutamine in tablet or capsule form 5 times daily for 6 weeks. If effective, your response should be improved sleep, lessened anxiety, and a reduced desire to drink. |

See book keywords and concepts |  When someone needs a very high dosage of magnesium (such as a person with fibromyalgia), then magnesium maybe taken by itself. magnesium glycinate is a good form to use for a high dosage (750 milligrams or higher) as it is less likely to cause diarrhea. Otherwise, magnesium citrate or other chelates are well absorbed.
Vitamin Bg and magnesium work synergistically in many different enzymatic reactions.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?
The most common side effect is loose stools or diarrhea. This tends to happen when the dosage is above 500 milligrams. |

You can also up your dietary intake of this energy-boosting mineral by including more peanuts, bananas and wheat germ in your diet.
Because magnesium increases your body's need for calcium, you should take calcium supplements as well, say experts, who generally recommend taking twice the amount of calcium as of magnesium. |
